The Junior League of Eastern Fairfield County wishes to express its sincere thanks to the artists, sponsors, patrons, designers and the many local businesses and individuals for their support of our 22nd Art Show. Because of you, we are able to collectively strive to make our community a place where children grow up healthy and arrive at school prepared to succeed.

A women's leadership and volunteer organization, the Junior League has been making a difference in the greater Bridgeport area for more than 93 years. Our largest annual fundraiser, the Art Show had Fairfield's Burr Homestead as the canvas to showcase hundreds of pieces of original artwork from 132 professional artists.

Proceeds will benefit our "Healthy Families, Healthy Futures" community projects in the areas of literacy, healthy lifestyles and hunger, to better prepare at-risk families and children in the greater Bridgeport area.

Proceeds also empower our 300-plus members to be trained to collaborate with community partners to identify a community's most urgent needs and address them with relevant programs that not only improve lives, but also change the way people think

Finally, our deepest appreciation goes out to the many Junior League members for their time and commitment to taking on this monumental task.
